The time I selected for the in-app time reminder expires even when the app was not open the entire time. Why does this happen?
The time set for the in-app time reminder is always "per session" and continues running even when the app is not open. This is by design.
For example, if you set a social media app to 10 minutes and spend 5 minutes in the app, then click an advertisement that opens a browser, the session timer keeps running while you're in the browser. When you return to the social media app after 5 minutes in the browser, your session time is over, even though the app itself was only open for 5 minutes.
